VOLUME 36, ISSUE 3, P810-815, MARCH 01, 2021
With a history of steadily rising healthcare costs, the United States faces an unprecedented set of health and financial challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic will only exacerbate these challenges, and it is of paramount importance to reform and refine health systems to maximize the value of care delivered to the patient. Recent developments related to value improvement in total joint arthroplasty suggest that episode-based payment is likely to become standard practice given the current healthcare environment. Consequently, developing episode-based care models for total joint arthroplasty is in the best interests of surgeons, health systems, and patients. In this article, we review important developments related to value-based care in total joint arthroplasty and present an episode-based framework for delivering high-value, patient-centric care. We examine each phase of a total joint arthroplasty episode—preoperative, acute, post-acute, and follow up—and present several ideas with developing bodies of evidence that can improve the value of care delivered to the patient.

Matthew J. Braswell,Keith A. Fehring,Jeff J. Barry,John Martin J. Ryan,Brian M. Curtin,Thomas K. Fehring
doi : 10.1016/j.arth.2020.09.013
VOLUME 36, ISSUE 3, P830-832, MARCH 01, 2021
All aspects of the arthroplasty pathway must be scrutinized to maximize value and eliminate unnecessary cost. Radiology providers’ contracts with hospitals often call for readings of all radiographs. This policy has little effect on patient care when intraoperative radiographs are taken and used to make real-time decisions. In order to determine the value of radiologist overreads, we asked 3 questions: what was the delay between the time an intraoperative radiograph was taken and time the report was generated, were the overreads accurate, and what is the associated cost?

Hip Resurfacing (HR), although reducing in popularity, is still used in the younger male population. Excellent medium-term results have been published; however, the use of metal on metal has reduced with increased awareness of adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD). ARMD has been shown to often be clinically “silent” following large Head MoM total hip replacement (THR). The purpose of our study was to report the incidence of ARMD following HR with a minimum follow-up of 13 years.

VOLUME 36, ISSUE 3, P1138-1142, MARCH 01, 2021
During primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) lesions of the superior gluteal nerve (SGN) can substantially compromise patient outcome. For the primary direct anterior approach (DAA) and its proximal approach extensions, especially the muscular branch entering the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) muscle is at risk. SGN lesions can result in fatty atrophy and functional loss of the TFL. Therefore, the course and branching pattern of the SGN were examined and related to the DAA and its proximal approach extension. The aim of the study is to describe safe and danger zones for the SGN with regard to the DAA and its proximal extensions.
